About the Mead Johnson Journal

Welcome to the Mead Johnson Journal. The journal serves as a global platform to share the latest news about our company, along with our perspective on developments and insights on breaking news related to children’s nutrition.

Mead Johnson Vietnam, the Department of Maternal and Child Health (Ministry of Health), and the National Hospital of Pediatrics in Hanoi recently announced a nationwide program designed to screen newborns for congenital metabolic disorders (CMDs).

On this special holiday, Mead Johnson wants to recognize and thank all the mothers in our lives – our moms, grandmothers, sisters, daughters, foster moms and caretakers – who do everything they can to nourish their children for the best start in life.

This Earth Day, we’re reminded of one of our former leaders and grandson of our founder, Daniel Mead Johnson, who challenged the company to “look to the needs and demands of tomorrow for today’s standards of performance, and not to the tradition of yesterday.”

Mead Johnson U.S. recently received the Spirit of Maryville award in recognition of our ongoing commitment to supply Chicago’s Maryville Crisis Nursery with enough Enfamil® Premium and Nutramigen® to meet the nutritional needs of all of the infants and children served by the crisis nursery as well as the co-located long-term medical care nursery.

Mead Johnson has a long history of giving back to communities in the Philippines, and that support has never been more needed than in the wake of Super Typhoon Haiyan. The largest and most destructive storm of its kind ever to reach land, Haiyan – also known locally as Yolanda – slammed into the Philippines on Friday, November 8, killing thousands, dispossessing and displacing millions and literally wiping out many coastal areas.

As you can see from the picture above, twins Aiden and Ella Binkley are healthy, vibrant toddlers. What you can’t see are the many battles they fought during the first six months of their lives in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) – including brain bleeds, a collapsed lung, life-threatening pneumonia, staph infections and countless blood transfusions. Their current vitality is thanks in large part to the work of Gerard M. Cleary DO, neonatologist at Abington Memorial Hospital (AMH) in Abington, Pennsylvania, and recipient of the first NICU Heroes Award.
